WATCH: Wisconsin Supreme Court debate

Published | Video Starts at 34:52

So I'm proud of the lawsuit, the litigation that we filed, because ultimately, The Wisconsin Supreme Court, with a very conservative majority at that time, found that because the law required people to pay to get a voter's ID, they ordered the administration to make changes so people would no longer have to pay. And indeed, they said it was like a poll tax. And the legislature. Do you want to sell a poll tax? Well, no, because they removed that. (34:52–35:15)
